Either the Driver of the bus or the traffic controller working with NRC is at fault. One of them should definitely be punished for put
ting human lives at risk.

I understand there is a Premium Times report that the trailer driver had been listening to Eko Ile FM.
Apparently the driver took Eko Ile and the ACN propaganda team seriously that clueless Joe has done nothing about trains so the driver was just driving like no man business.
Hopefully others who have been listening to the LIES emanating from Eko Ile and co would have learnt their lesson.

So why the collision?

Trains brakes are not effective often
Trains brakes are effective, u know a train has many coaches so it takes several mins b4 it stops.

Are you serious? You're going to put the blame on the train? You think a train's brakes are ABS designed? Lmao! A train's brakes are air filled & do not stop on impact but requires a certain distance to come to a complete halt. This is because of the speed,length & weight of the train

A moving train contains energy, known as kinetic energy, which needs to be removed from the train in order to cause it to stop.  The simplest way of doing this is to convert the energy into heat.  The conversion is usually done by applying a contact material to the rotating wheels or to discs attached to the axles.  The material creates friction and converts the kinetic energy into heat.  The wheels slow down and eventually the train stops.  The material used for braking is normally in the form of a block or pad.The vast majority of the world's trains are equipped with braking systems which use compressed air as the force to push blocks on to wheels or pads on to discs.  These systems are known as "air brakes" or "pneumatic brakes".  The compressed air is transmitted along the train through a "brake pipe".  Changing the level of air pressure in the pipe causes a change in the state of the brake on each vehicle.  It can apply the brake, release it or hold it "on" after a partial application. 

u na train mechanic? we have people like u in this country and Fashola is patronizing Canada train manufacturers

This is an avoidable accident and it's alarming that not many commenters are asking the right questions. From the picture its really dark in the background and the brightness there seems to come from the camera flash - why would a railway crossing be left in darkness like that? This was an accident waiting to happen and I'm almost certain there would have been near-misses or actual accidents prior to now. Of course, nobody did anything about it.

Last September the exact same thing happened near Oshodi and in October two trains collided in Mushin injuring four. As recently as last month we had another railway accident with news of a derailment at Agege

It's a shame that those charged with restoring the railway services think it only means putting trains on the tracks and going to sleep. Why are we just miserably inadequate in doing anything? Even many of the comments we make here are pathetic.

And you don't know why Fashola and other public servants prefer to buy refurbished and painted second hand things as new from abroad even when there is capacity locally

The railway transport system in Lagos is a big disaster waiting to happen. this is just a warning for those in charge to take proactive steps in ensuring safety on these trains and on the tracks.

safety is at its lowest ebb with those trains and the public throws caution to the wind when using this transport. Alot really needs to be done.The other day it was a train derailing and now this. Alot needs to be done and world safety standards must be attained.

I have read very meaningful posts here and read others that make me feel their authors wanna make fun. Its quite a serious matter here, let me not create a gory scene of what this would have been if it were a commerce-bound truck with human and goods aboard, hmmmm.

Recklessness on the part of the truck driver is the ONLY reason this incident occurred because trains dont ply routes of choice they are constrained to those tracks of steel.

Now Mr. Anonymous truck driver approaching the territory where this locomotives apply should have take appropraite caution, come to a halt and double-check before proceeding.

And for some of us who have enjoyed the ABS systems as efficient as BMW's, the system in trains arent similar considering the bulk, acceleration and force required to bring it to rest under the pneumatic braking system- A train ralely comes to a halt within a minute.

Motion pictures have turned some people to 007's and their instincts are those of supermans' but I may have to reiterate that caution is the only remedy to forestall such incidents irrespective of what mode of transportation you use.

HAPPY SUNDAY, DRIVE CAREFULLY
